Among Artists: Workshop as a Learning Space

Organized in the context of Cengiz Çekil's retrospective exhibition titled I'm Living Today at Arter, this event will bring together Vahap Avşar and Merve Ünsal for a conversation that underlines Çekil's role as an academic. Drawing on the work of Çekil's student and artist Vahap Avşar, named Cengiz Çekil Okul (2015), which was produced by editing the recordings of a long-term conversation spanning twenty years, and which is also included in the exhibition, the conversation covers various institutions of Çekil from the 1970s to the early 2000s. In addition to his continuing academic adventure, the unique approach to art education of the period and its lasting effects that shaped the field will be revealed.
